In this next installment in the Immortals After Dark Series, USA Today Bestselling author Kresley Cole delivers a scorching tale about a forbidding vampire who lives in the shadows and the beautiful assassin who hunts him there.
A soldier weary of life . . .
Centuries ago, Sebastian Wroth was turned into a vampire -- a nightmare in his mind -- against his will. Burdened with hatred and alone for ages, he sees little reason to live. Until an exquisite, fey creature comes to kill him, inadvertently saving him instead.
A Valkyrie assassin dispatched to destroy him . . .
When Kaderin the Cold Hearted lost her two beloved sisters to a vampire attack long ago, a benevolent force deadened her sorrow -- accidentally extinguishing all of her emotions. Yet whenever she encounters Sebastian, her feelings -- particularly lust -- emerge multiplied. For the first time, she's unable to complete a kill.
Become competitors in a legendary hunt.
The prize of the month-long contest is powerful enough to change history, and Kaderin will do anything to win it for her sisters. Wanting only to win her, forever, Sebastian competes as well, taking every opportunity -- as they travel to ancient tombs and through catacombs, seeking relics around the world -- to use her new feelings to seduce her. But when forced to choose between the vampire she's falling for and reuniting her family, how can Kaderin live without either?

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Read,
By KittyMomma (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No Rest for the Wicked (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was a pretty good read, I bought it because I had 'A hunger like no other'. I felt the book was a little disapointing compared to the first book I bought in the series, but still a very good read. Also, if you are not wanting to get the first book, this one stands quite well on it's own. I would definitly buy future books of this line.

Action/Romance adventure... My favorite in the IAD series,
By
This review is from: No Rest for the Wicked (Mass Market Paperback)
This one is my favorite in the series... Sebastian/Kaderin have a romance that's just comfortable. They don't fight each other too much, there isn't any constant bickering, they don't annoy each other. I know, I know, if there isn't any tension, then where's the excitement in their relationship? The fun & excitement comes from the situation the two characters are in. Kaderin is a constestant in a brutal contest similar to "the amazing race" where each task is extremely dangerous, not only from the task itself, but from the other competitors determined to do anything to knock you out of the contest. Sebastian enters the contest just to keep Kaderin safe.I think 95% of the romance books I've read have the usual plot where guy meets girl, girl hates guy, followed by 100 pages of arguing while denying the lust until, wham, on page 200 the characters have sex and their relationship is suddenly okay. I give them 5 years before the passion is gone and they are looking for a divorce. I loved "No rest for the wicked" because right from the beginning I can feel that these characters are meant to be together. It's like seeing two halves find each other and they become whole. I think I love this book becasue I can see the two characters actually being together FOREVER. If immorals grew old, these two would be the type where you see them 70 years from now sitting on their front porch still holding hands. This is the only book I have ever read twice. You don't need to read the series to pick up this book. But if you do, there are references to a previous book "Playing hard to get", and the next book "Wicked Deeds on a winter's night" (another good book in the series)

Awesome,
This review is from: No Rest for the Wicked (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was a wonderful read. I really enjoyed the writing style as it doesn't fit in the typical romance novel clique. The flesh play is really intreguing and I can't wait for another Kresley COLE book. I ranked this one at a 5 because I am keeping it to re read and save as a great novel. I highly recommend her series and they have all been awesome. All I can say is Fabulous... yet again.
